A 55-year-old man in Salerno, along with two of his friends, are alleged to have sexually assaulted his three sons over a number of years, with the attacks being filmed and sold online, according to Italian press reports.

The three men were arrested and swiftly jailed today following an investigation that began in March last year, Corriere del Mezzogiorno reported.

The probe discovered that the three boys, aged 11,13 and 16, endured continuous sexual violence by their father and his two friends, aged 51 and 57.

The attacks were filmed and then sold to child pornography websites, the newspaper said.
